Lidl urgently recalls products warning of vomiting and temperature....
Lidl has issued an urgent recall on two of its fish products as they have been contaminated with a substance that can cause vomiting and flu-like symptoms. Shoppers are being advised not to eat the products if they've purchased them, and instead return them to their nearest store.
This is one of a number of products that have been recalled by the Food Standards Agency this week. Other major supermarkets including Co-op and Asda have warned customers to return items such as Mince Pies and anchovies, and home superstore IKEA has been forced to recall an almond cake that contains pieces of metal.
Shoppers can get a full refund or store credit for returning the items. The items included below are not safe to eat:
Lidl Deluxe Oak Smoked Scottish Louch Trout and Lighthouse Bay Smoked Trout Trimmings..

Lidl is urgently warning customers not to eat their Deluxe Oak Smoked Trout or Lighthouse Bay Trout Trimmings as they have been contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. These can cause a number of severe health complications and symptoms similar to the flu, this can include high temperature, muscle ache or pain, chills, feeling or being sick and diarrhoea.
However in rare cases, Listeria monocytogenes can also cause more serious complications, such as meningitis. This is especially risky to those more vulnerable to listeria infections, including those over 65 years of age, pregnant women and their unborn babies, babies less than one month old and people with weakened immune systems.

Thanks @Happygirl but what on earth are 'small pieces of food-grade silica beads, making them unsafe to eat'. And if they are 'food grade' why does that make the product unsafe to eat!! Anyway, thankfully, we haven't got any of those things, with or without silica beads!!
Thank you @Happygirl.
Thanks for the info @Happygirl keep up the good work.
There you go
